I’ve wanted to read The Gifts of Imperfection ever since I finished Brene’s previous book and heard about this one coming out. As soon as I got my hands on it, I wanted to read all of it. But I knew I was going to cherish it so much that I forced myself to take my time with it.
And it was so worth it.
This book is a treasure. I’ve dog eared so many of its pages. I’ve watched all of Brene’s talks and even joined her Webinar and I still had so much more to learn from this book. I cannot say enough good things about it. Go get it.
You will not regret it.
Oh my gosh! That’s it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been trying to figure out what finally pushed me over the edge. That moment when I finally decided I was worth taking care of… running, eating better, caring for myself more and learning to love myself the way I am. Somewhere around the new year the transition happened, but it wasn’t a resolution (I didn’t make any of those). I’ve been trying to figure out why, as the last year I’ve been working towards getting there, yet always falling short.
Well, around thanksgiving and into December, I read this book. And it MOVED me. I returned to my journal, which had been silent the last few years (but open and talkative my whole life) and I poured out my heart. Bit by bit I soaked up Brene’s message and began the journey of loving myself the way I am, which lead to where I’m at now: a much better, happier and healthier place!
Thanks so much for posting this! WOW! š
isn’t Brene amazing? I can’t believe I get to meet her next week š
I think the joys of getting new toys can apply to adults as well! I forgot it was David’s birthday – it’s Riley’s today and he is in for a big surprise and a pile of “new toys” wrapped and waiting for him when he comes downstairs! We had tried to encourage him to be altruistic this year but he just wasn’t ready. New toys – great whether you are young or old(er)!
By the way – you should know I read handmaiden’s tale on your recommendation AND have recommended it to a friend and her book club!
hmmm i never read that book. was it good?
now you have me doubting my sanity..I am sure it was from you I got it
